2 Boys Struck By Speeding Car In Brooklyn Hit-And-Run

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Two 12-year-old Brooklyn boys had to be rushed to the hospital Tuesday night after their bicycle was struck by a speeding car in Gravesend.

Authorities said the boys were riding on the same bike — one pedaling, the other standing on the pegs — around 10 p.m. That’s when police said they were rear-ended by one of two cars either racing to beat a street light or racing each other at the intersection of Avenue S and 4th Street.

Paul Gamal, who lives in a corner house, heard the arriving ambulances and ran outside to see what happened.
